Newsflash, read all about it at the Orange County (California) Republican Party's website. Donald Trump is coming to Aspen for dinner this Saturday at an as-yet unpublished location to raise money for his campaign. The event is a joint project of 48 state Republican parties (Colorado is not even one of them).

I know it's hard to believe, but the cost of serving as a dinner "host" is $500,000 per couple, which can either be a direct donation of funds or raising that amount from others. So far, 8 individuals/couples have signed on as hosts. [More...]

What you get for hosting: a "Roundtable, Photo, & VIP Dinner Seating".

For co-hosts, the price is $100k donated or raised per couple. The levels decrease from there, all the way down to $25,000. per couple just to attend.

Who is behind this besides the 48 Republican state parties? Donald Trump PACs.

The Trump 47 Committee, the joint fundraising group behind the event, includes Donald J. Trump for President 2024, the Save America PAC, [and] the Republican National Committee.

What is the Save America PAC? According to the FEC, it is a "joint fundraising group" that has raised $223.5 million for Trump since January, 2023 (18 months). Where did the money go?

During the same period, $138 million was transferred to "affiliated committees" and PACS. Here is the list. Operating expenses were $76 million and total disbursements were $176 million.

I wonder if the announcement of the addition of Tim Walz to the Democratic ticket will energize Democrats and result in an increase campaign contributions to Harris/Walz. I sure hope so.
